Title: system error: Database I/O error bitcoin
Post by: Bitcoin Oz on June 20, 2013, 02:13:44 AM
Ever since the 0.8.2 I have been having major issues with it. It takes hours to open the program and the laptop is practically unuseable.

Now I'm getting "system error: Database I/O error "  that comes up whenever I open the program.

Also where has the bitcoin data directory moved to I can no longer find it in ~/library/application support/bitcoin because there is no bitcoin folder anymore....

Try installing the newest bitcoin client. If your referring to the bitcoin directory where the wallet.dat is located its by default in %appdata%/Roaming/Bitcoin

I've suddenly started having this same problem, both on a linux mint and a win7. I've backed up my wallet.dat and started both at command line with -reindex. Catching up on 5 years and 28 weeks now.
